We just booked a weekend at Otter Lake for early November. This will only be our 2nd trip with the new Roo. Thanks for these videos with the tips and advise

Nice!!! Our favorite campground so far in our adventures. It’s a little tricky during peak season because you have a 5 night minimum for non-lake front. Eats up a lot of the vacation days to make that commitment every year.

Wait, you were upset when a ride that's Not Officially open yet is in technical Rehearsals goes down during stormy weather. 😂 Also not sure where your from. Schools weren't even out in NJ and NY when you went. Middle of Summer is 3rd week of July to 1st week of August. 😂 Also make sure you know the Correct Height requirements for rides if your going to Attempt to give them. BTW those are called Stantions. Also it's Inline. Not ONLINE 😂 IN-LINE. Maybe Plan better and make sure things are Open and your Plans might work out better. 😂

@thefunparent I'm in my 60s, and about a year ago, we officially adopted one of our grandchildren as our own. She'll be 3 soon, and we've had her since she was born. I love watching your channel as it gives me ideas of things to do with her. We have an older Roo but are trying to decide if we want to go that route again or get something a little different!

Why do people who "camper camp" refer to those who tent as "tent city" camping is camping I thought? and if they are next to you then they paid the same price for there site as you did. Same as those who have travel trailers or 5th wheels camp may see you as a step above tents in your hybrid. Treat people the same as you would like to be treated.
@thefunparentАй бұрын
We started as tent campers. The difference is we respected our neighbors, didn’t have unleashed pets coming into other people’s sites, and didn’t setup 6 tents on one site with 20-30 people staying on that one site. We camp with people who have tents and don’t look down on them at all. “Tent City” is referring to the fact that a site should not have 6 tents on one site. Campgrounds do not allow me to roll in with 3 campers and park them all on the same site. Why is it ok for tent camping to pile as many people on one site as possible? There were a ton of people tent camping at this campground. Just don’t be disrespectful of those around you and you can sleep in whatever you want.

That will depend on height and whether or not they can sit on a ride beside you and not on your lap. They are very strict about not having kids on your lap. You can check the height requirements on the LEGOLAND website. There are also other things to do there other than the rides. If you can get discounted tickets, it’s worth the trip just to check it out.
